It doesn’t seem right that after t*he great Dr. Einstein lived in such humility all his life, there should be a fight among professional men as to who would study his "brain ”. 0 -Q —■■ Decatur Catholic and public schools are in the last six weeks of the 1954-55 school term. Sum * mer vacation will soon be here and then before you get half the things done that you’ve planned all winter, autumn and school will be here again. • 0 0 Evidence that Decatur's shopping area is becoming wider is strengthened by the fact that almost daily this newspaper receives new subscribers as far south and east as 20 miles. Every day more and more people are discovering that Decatur is the best place in northern Indiana to shop for quality and values. < « o Announcement has been made that Decatur’s post of Veterans of Foreign Wars will be featured in the May publication of the state Organization’s newspaper, “The Indiana Combat Veteran.” Representatives have been in the city this week obtaining information for a news story about the Decatur VFW and the part it plays in affairs of the community. t The local post is regarded as one of the outstanding posts in northern Indiana. 0 4> One of the cardinal duties of a newspaper is to inform the people of the community it serves.

attend te ascertain how your money is being spent now rests with you. 0 0 The directors of Decatur Memorial Foundation, Inc., local group in charge of construction of the new Youth and Community center and the Decatur Recreation board, will meet jointly Friday night to complete plans for the dedication to the people of the great new building. Completion of the project will be reached in about two months, and an appropriate dedication is in order. The building, which has been a dream i of many for years, will be complete in every detail, with plenty of space for youth recreation and meetings and also for adult meetings, dinners and social gatherings. Announcement will be forthcoming soon pertaining to the dedication program, the activities program and also plans for general management of the city's newest addition to a bigger and better Decatur. 4) o . I Vacations will soon be coming up. The Daily Democrat will carry a series of advertisements concerning Fontana Village, North Carolina, a vacation spot in the Smokies. The little town, with its 250 modern homes, almost all of them rental units, and its 100room hotel, was built originally by the government for use of workmen when Fontana Dam, fourth largest power dam in the world, was constructed. The entire village, with its stores and vacationing facilities, has been a .private enterprise and is operated as a vacation spot. Fontana Village is about—--500 miles from Decatur, and is within easy reach of the national park in the Smokies and a half doxen other interesting places. There is fishing on the 30-mlle long lake; boat trips; horseback riding and all the other relaxations which go to make a grand vacation. To top it off, Fontana Village has room and food rates well within the average person's budget. It's a great place to get an all-over rest. — , -

CHAPTER THIRTf McKEE WENT on with his story, “David Redgate admitted guilt because he was absolutely convinced that his sister was guilty. It was a tragedy of errors. Lofting and Trout were both staying at the inn. Lofting had already made up hia mind that Trout had to be disposed of and he was very much on the alert. He saw Regina come and go that night, saw the doctor come, and the doctor and Trout leave in the doctor's car. Lofting followed in bis own. At the foot of the inn driveway Redgate turned right and ran along the cliff road to the little park near the top of the steps leading down to ionkern. Trout got out there and Redgate drove on. Lofting pulled his own car well off the road and started after Trout. He caught up with him at the edge of the cliff, hit him with a tire iron and sent him over the edge and down on that shelf of rock, and ran for the steps to finish the job. It was while this was going on that Amy Redgate arrived. “Keep in mind,” McKee said, "that it was snowing heavily, that it was night, and that visibility was very poor. But there was some. Amy Redgate did have a blowout that night, as she said, but she had the blowout near the inn gates. She saw her brother go past with Trout, caught a glimpse of her brother's face and was terrified. Redgate loathed Trout, as you know. Amy ran after the doctor's car on foot as tar as the bend, trying to see where he was going. Lofting went past her but she didn’t notice. “What she saw when she was close to the little park was two men struggling on the cliff edge. One man went over, and the other disappeared down the steps. She jumped to the conclusion that tile man Who had gone over the cliff was Trout and that Che man who had attacked Trout was her brother. She ran to the cliff edge and peered down. Below ner, Lofting was finishing Trout off. She heard blows, other sounds —and stumbled off in the general direction of her car. "At that point David Redgate came back. He had dnven on only a short distance after dropping Trout when he pulled up. He didn't trust Trout, thought Trout might have pretended to leave, or that he might lose his way and return. Redgate made quickly for the steps on foot. He was coming from the eduth. A vague figure—Amy Redgate—was disappearing to the ndrth. Redgate didn't recognize his sister then. He had a flashlight, switched it on. He saw tramped snow at the cliff edge. There was blood on the snow. Redgate in turn ran down the steps and found Trout's dead body—and something else. His sister’s pocketbook was lying within five feet of the dead man, where it had dropped when Lni' Rederate leaned over the cliff

o ■ 0 County Agent's Column o . ——» The newest soybean adapted to this area and accepted for multiplication through the certification program is the Canadian developed Harosy. It has been found from many tests by the Purdue agriculture experiment station to be adapted to the same general area in which Hawkeyes now grow. With the production of approximately four thousand acres of seed through the certification program the supply of certified seed of this variety should be adequate to meet the demand. Local producers who have cooperated in the certification program and multiplied this seed are E. W. Busche, Monroe; Winfred L. Gerke. Decatur; Elmer J. Isch, Bluffton; and Ezra Kaehr, Decatur. By its being slightly earlier in maturity than Hawkeye and a week earlier than Lincoln. Harosy is more desirable in rotations where wheat follows soybeans and where soybean planting is delayed. In tests at five locations in the northern half of Indiana from 1951

edge trying to see. Trout was beyond help. Redgate’s first intention had been to call the police. He remembered the half-seen figure hurrying away from the top of the steps, knew it was his sister, and was overwhelmed. “Amy knew about Regina’s will. Regina had told her, she could know the whole story—and how much money there was. She would do anything to advance his interest, was far more ambitious lor him, sometimes fiercely so, than he was for hinjself. He couldn't hand his sister over to the police. He picked up her purse and walked off. "What Amy didn’t see, couldn’t see, was Barry Lofting, under cover near the body. The lethargic note again. Lofting is a man with the ability to stand still and think a situation out. He had done it before, when Andrus fell practically at his feet near the body of Midnight Mike. He dragged Trout's body into the cave. He didn't bury him then —he’s done some talking —he came back and did that later. "His chief anxiety at that point was Amy Redgate. He didn’t think she had recognized him but he had to try to find out. He made for the Redgate house, and arrived in time to see Amy Redgate shoot her brother through the window, not to kill Redgate but to handcuff him, make him helpless, keep him lied to the house. Lofting grasped the situation at once—Amy convinced her brother was guilty, and Redgate that his sister was. This was hammered home by the affair of the pocketbook. "I’ve talked to both the Redgates. This is what happened. The moment the shot was tired Amy Redgate rushed inside. Redgate was on the floor with blood spurting. He hadn't yet lost consciousness. He waved at the bag that i stood on his desk and said, ’Your bag, Amy, 1 found IL’ They looked at each other. Each one saw a murderer, Amy Redgate said i vaguely, ’Oh, yes, I lost IL Thanks. I And that was all. Neither of them said another word. "It was Lofting who had re- : moved Mrs. Casserly s diary and put it on the cellar floor, Lofting who deposited Trout’s laundry slip under the doctor's window—which deepened the brother and sister’s : suspicion of each other. It was Lofting who had thrown the gravel : up at Regina's window last night, i wearing Trout’s hat and coat, Lofting who had thrown the coat over ■ you pushed you down the eeli lar steps." "He would have killed Regina?’’ I Susan asked. At McKee’s nod, coldi ness closed around her. “Lofting didn’t know, still I doesn’t know, about Regina's will—that’s the joker.” _. i McKee explained that again it was Dave Redgate who stopped , Lofting in his tracks. There were detectives in the house, in the room

to 1954, Harosy has yielded 40.5 bushels per acre compared with 39.2 for Hawkeye. Canadian and Indiana studies have indicated that Harosoy is less susceptible to the destructive stem canker disease than Hawkeye. It is believed that it is somewhat less susceptible to downy mildew. Both varieties have been found to stand equally as well and make similar growth. Since botn Harosoy and Hawkeye are excellent varieties for this area a grower of soybeans should compare the characteristics of each and decide from that which variety fits into his own farming program the better. The Blackhawk which is six days earlier than Hawkeye, and the Lincoln, w-hich is five days later are also adapted to northern Indiana. Certified seed of all of these varieties may be identified by the blue Indiana-shaped tag.

across from Regina’s, more man outside. They had orders not to move prematurely. It waa very dark around the back door. Just as Lotting was about to mount tho back steps and enter, after disposing of Susan, Redgate came limping up. He was worried about Regina and Susan being alone in the house. Lofting faded into the deep shadow along the side wall and stayed there while Redgate mounted the back steps and went inside and up the stairs. Amy Redgate was on her brother’s heels determined to stop another murder. She thought he was going to kin Regina. The detectives came out of hiding. The lights flashed on inside —and Lofting melted away. Susan said, “And this morning? Dave had confessed. Why did Barry—” McKee said, “A man can stand just so much pressure. Lofting was on the very edge of being discovered a number of times. The unaccustomed activity into which he was thrust—his mental processes are slow—told on his nerves. He realized that the blackmailing game was pretty well over. You were .his one remaining hope, you and a future dowry—Regina could always die later. Then you telephoned, breaking your engagement It was the last straw.” McKee shrugged. “The gun waa Andrus'. Lofting might possibly have got away With it at that, except for two things. Todhunter was on his trail all the way, and we linked up Trout’s coat with the back of Lofting'a car, very early thia morning. There was a special grease on the coat, and a particular kind of dust” The door opened then and Todhunter and Jim Andrus came in. Susan had seen Regina briefly. She hadn’t seen Jim Andrus since morning. Jim asked her how she was and she said all right. He sat down beside her and took her hand. She let It lie limply in his. She felt strange with him, awkward, shy. McKee was wanted on the phone. He went out. Todhunter lingered. Jim said to Susan, "That shot of Mr. Todhunter’s this morning saved our lives.” Todhunter protested. "Yow knocked Miss Dwight out of the way.” “0.K.,” Andrus conceded. “Then you saved my life.” Susan took her hand out of Andrus’, extended it to the little detective. Pink with pleasure, Todhunter shook her hand. He said, concerned, “You're cold, miss.” "Not now,” Susan smiled at him. Andrus had moved closer to her; His arm was around her shoulders. The mystery and strangeness began to go. Warmth was seeping back into her, and comfott and • deep sensation of rest. Todhunter said, “I’m glad, miss," and left them. - THE END —
